Not much work done lately

After a walk this morning we will head to St. Francis Hospital this morning where Terry will be for the next few days.  As one gets older sometimes the "golden years" are not so golden.  She should be home by Monday or Tuesday and then rest and recovery for a few weeks.  I am sure she will be good to go when it is time to head out on our camping trip.  It may not happen quite as early as we had planned as we may need to by pass Glacier National Park because it often closes some areas by mid September.  But for sure we will head west when the time is right.
The tomatoes are starting to ripen too fast.  My skin is starting to turn red from them!!not really.  Most of the time on my way to or from the wood shop I stop to eat some grape ones.  I think I may need to dig up the carrots.  They are about 6-8 inches long which is a great eating size. 
Aaron/Amy will be in town tonight and then leave tomorrow again.  I am excited for them to stop by tomorrow as I want to show Aaron what I have done in the shop.  Many years ago, about 1986 or so, I kind of closed the shop except for repair work.  Then in 2003 off the top of my head I asked John/Mary if they would like me to make a crib for their first baby.  That opened the door to the shop again with new table saw and all.  Since then a jointer, planer, drill press, compound mitre saw, router, band saw and other items have been added but as things were added the order and the layout became more and more cluttered.  NOW finally it is in some kind of order, the walls are patched (after tearing holes for new electricity many years ago) some walls are painted, a lumber rack is in place and it is now more fun than ever to use.  Still the many hand tools and items are in need of order and places to rest but it will come.  Of course all this has come at an expense, no dining table and bench for Naples and no new storms for some of the older windows on the house.  They may have to wait until 2013 but that is OK.
No, time to sip the last tiny bit of FP and then get a few things done before we depart for the hospital about 11:00.
